    Introduction to the Axe-Fx III

    That's all I could find as well . I had seen people mention 30 days on various forums - including the Kemper FB user group. 2 weeks sounds like a lot - and if you're a full time musician, it is - but for those of us with full time (meaning 60hr)/week jobs and kids - it's not nearly as much...

    Introduction to the Axe-Fx III

    How long is the trial period? I was under the impression it was 30 days just from things I had picked up from reading but when I looked on the Fractal page - I couldn’t find anything that said longer than 15 days?

    Axe III on the way - Question (Speakers/Cab/PA)

    haven’t tried the RCF yet. I will this weekend and at gig volumes. I will give the Friedman another run. Right now everything feels muffled - and that includes through my Adam A7x monitors. although I did play with the amp EQ last night and that seemed to help. Still looking for that bite and...

    Axe III on the way - Question (Speakers/Cab/PA)

    I will say that I wasn’t thrilled during my 10 min audition last night with how it sounded through the Friedman. Looking forward to real experimenting time this weekend.

    Axe III on the way - Question (Speakers/Cab/PA)

    Yes - I did have that much down. :blush: What I was getting at is - isn't one of the key defining characteristics of a PA speaker or even your home stereo speakers for that matter - just how F the F's are? Obviously there are other things - but Speakers can be very expensive - and outside of...

    Axe III on the way - Question (Speakers/Cab/PA)

    You know - I looked up the PA speaker you cited - and it got me thinking - why don't most people just do this? After all - isn't that basically what the FRFR is supposed to be? Or conversely - the best PA speakers - supposed to be FRFR? (Realizing that's an idealized concept only of course)...

    Axe III on the way - Question (Speakers/Cab/PA)

    And I’ve been trying to read here about what powered FRFR seems to be the preferred. I have 2 FRFR cabs - an RCF NX12SMA and a Friedman ASM12. I’ve been playing through a Kemper for the last 2 years or so - when not playing through one of my tube amps. I had the Axe II prior to that. I got rid...

    Distortion Tone That Cleans Up With Volume Knob

    It probably has quite a bit to do with your guitar and pups as well. I have yet to tweak a single preset - I'm really really lazy :) - so with all stock presets I've actually been marveling at how the tones not only clean up - but don't lose as much volume as I sometimes perceive with a tube...

    i played a jvm 410 yesterday

    I have one as well - but for some reason - I was never happy with how it sat in the mix with the band during rehearsals. Fortunately they were in my basement - so I'd just hook my Bogner up. I tried it several times - and never found anything I was happy with. I still have the amp - and it...

    Trying to use SPDIF outs on Axe FX II with Firestudio Mobile

    Sorry for the slow reply - I just relocated from Maryland - and still don't have internet out here in the boonies yet. @barhrecords - The sample rate is the only thing I can lay claim to - I certainly haven't looked at bit depth - tomorrow I'll see if that's a knob that can be turned. I do...

    Now that I've been picking up my guitars again lately - I'd like to be able to record - as well as tweak patches through my studio monitors - should I ever feel like starting that process. I'm a newb really (in so many categories) - even when I used to play my recording was limited to analog...

    Proud New Owner.....but......

    I didn't like how the Axe sounded through my headphones at all - of course I don't have a super high end pair...just a $100 set of Sony circumaurals... Run it through the Bogner though - and it should sound great. I know it did through my XTC's power amp.

    Please recommend a FRFR Speaker for Axe FX II

    Considering that Vista - is what pushed me to Mac - January of last year - I don't think they have anything in common. Yes - People are whining about Lion - but not for very many good reasons.

    Plexi Treble "ice picky"?

    I've actually had some success just using the tone knob on the guitar - something that I typically never touch. If I happen upon a preset that's a little too harsh - I've just been rolling the tone knob back a bit - and that's worked fine - at least so far. Still in the infantile stages. :)

    Reaper and Axe-Fx II

    I had halved the buffer size just hoping it would improve latency - but I'm not sure it did. I can certainly put it back and see if there's a difference. I'll tinker a little more tomorrow - but I guess if I can't get it to stay noise free for more than 5 min - I'll have to give logic a try...
